Read article: The Time We Deleted Eleven Days from ProductionSometime around 2012, I published a similar list (up to the point of APIs). I recently put the same list in another post. I thought having this as its own post would be useful, or, at least, amusing.
Read article: Begotten & Forgotten Distributed Service TechnologiesI’m taking a brief excursion from my usual identity and API-centric posts to answer a question about performance tuning that someone asked me earlier this year. In a previous incarnation of my career, I was focused on performance tuning and diagnostics — particularly involving Java systems.…

Read article: Concurrency And Server-Side Networking APIs — Part 4This is part three of an exploration of how concurrency in networking APIs works in Unix-like operating systems and Java technology. This article now looks at the Java equivalents of several C-based server implementations that have been presented. If you haven’t read this series from the beginning,…
Read article: Concurrency And Server-Side Networking APIs — Part 3This article explores how a Sun Hotspot JVM behaves when accepting incoming TCP/IP socket connections. The behavior of native server programs–written in C–are also explored to better understand how concurrency can be achieved. Then, a comparison of how these runtime environments implement…
Read article: Concurrency And Server-Side Networking APIs — Part 1Several terms have been used liberally throughout articles on thinkmiddleware.com. A moment should be taken to formally define them. I am going to attempt to present these concepts in as generic a sense as possible, but the truth of the matter is, every OS has its own threading model and…
Read article: Threads, Threads Everywhere. And, Not a Needle In SightThread dumps are the basic diagnostic tool for JVMs. Thread dumps present a partial state of each Java thread in a running JVM. I say partial because it doesn’t present all information that captures the state of a Java thread. The state of a running Java thread is stored in a series of data…
